Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after

Quickie Festival Visit:
Is it possible to enjoy the many events and activities of the Harrison Festival of the Arts in less than 5 hours? I know this is a question on many of your minds. The short answer is YES!
Jules and I: visited many of Harrison’s unique shops, reflected on a small art exhibit (curated by the multitalented Tasha Bollerup), enjoyed a greasy and delightful lunch while listening to the South Asian inspired jazz group Autorickshaw, parused the arts and crafts tents, and topped the day off with Ice cream cones while enjoying blues riffs.
The last time I visited the Festival was the summer of 1990 (Yikes!). This year’s event was well organized, welcoming and a wonderful way to meet local artisans. There were pottery artists from Abbotsford and Langley and (my favourite) a jewlery artist/Grade 3 teacher from White Rock. *

Sass update:
Toe rings--yes or no?
My vote is YES! With of course a maximum of 2 toe rings. These eclectic jewelry items may be worn on either foot--or even two rings on one foot (if you dare!). To my knowledge there is no toe ring morse code/ subtext, ie: toe rings worn on the left foot mean that you are liberal and open to anything --wink, wink! *

Missy G says:
“Observable Belly flab is for the 18 and under crowd.”

Of course big is beautiful, but must we be faced with rolls of unclothed, pasty bellies everywhere this summer?!? Hey I don’t want any young girls feeling like they have to lose weight to fit into this summer’s all too revealing day wear, but there is no excuse for adults (18+) to be featuring their flab in low risers and too short tank tops! Ladies, ladies grab a light weight cotton cover shirt or summery cardigan and save us all from seeing what was only meant for sweethearts! *
PS According to the fall fashion-ites Skin is out this season!!! Hallellujah
